Cook Skinny Tip - Roasted Garlic

If I could, I would begin every meal with garlic. I really would. Garlic is an obvious flavor powerhouse, but raw garlic can be too pungent and aggressive, overpowering more subtle flavors that also deserve a chance to shine. Enter roasted garlic, or garlic candy as I like to call it.

Roasted garlic is much milder, sweeter in fact. Adding a bit of roasted garlic to nearly any dish is a way to subtly rev up the flavor (here is the best part) without revving up fat and calories. I always have an entire head of roasted garlic in my fridge to use as I want. As glorious and delicious as roasted garlic is, it is also one of the best skinny cooking tips out there.

From a nutrition point of view garlic is a top cancer fighting compound, the best food to boost immunity (say goodbye to those spring colds!) and a phenomenal anti-inflammatory, which “SKINNY TIP!” aids in weight loss.

How do I use Roasted Garlic?

Mash it up with a little olive oil and and put on top of any steamed veggies.

Make garlic mashed cauliflower (steam cauliflower until soft, mash with an entire head of roasted garlic a small drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper)
